Important Words Used in Organising
Definition
images
An image (from Latin imago) is an artifact, for example a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject
audio
A sound, or a sound signal; Of or relating to audible sound; Of or relating to the broadcasting or reproduction of sound,

text
A text is a coherent set of symbols that transmits some kind of informative message.
numberic
In computing, floating point describes a system for numerical representation in which a string of digits (or bits) represents a rational number.
hard copy systems
is a type of material suitable for direct use, meaning that the user can read the material directly, rather than having to process it through a computer or some other technology
paper methods for organising data
organising into catogories and sub catagories post it notes will help
Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information

Course Specifications
· organising - the process by which data is structured into a form appropriate for use by other information processes
· how different methods of organising affect processing, for example:
· letters of the alphabet represented as images rather than text
· numbers represented as text rather than numeric
· the way in which the
hardware used for collection organises data by digitising images, audio, video, numeric and text
software for organisation
(See Course Specifications Document)
non-computer tools for organising
· hard copy systems such as
o phone books
o card catalogues
o pen and paper forms pen
